it is all to do with a young girl, martha mills, who was 13 years old when in 2021 she went into hospital hospital originally for treatment for that but started to deteriorate. her mother thought something was wrong over a long bank holiday weekend and raised her concerns repeatedly with doctors at a hospital in south london but says she wasn't taken seriously and her concerns were essentially ignored and very sadly her daughter suffered from sepsis, blood poisoning, and lost her life as a result. there has been a strong campaign from both her mother and father trying to get what is called martha's rule put in place, meaning a family has more of a right in hospital to demand a second opinion from doctors if they have concerns. hospital say that legally this kind of right is in place already across much of the health service but frankly doctors don't always know about it, hospitals don't make it very clear. patients might not always know about it depending on hospital they go to, so they have been campaigning for this to be much more put in statute, effectively for this to be much clearer.
